PETER O. CAMPBELL, OF MOGASKILL, SOUTH CAROLINA.

WHEEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,233, dated. September 18, 1900.

7 Application filed March 28, 1900. Serial No. 10,504. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PETER C. CAMPBELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mo- Caskill, in the county of Ghesterfield and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wheels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to wheels, and more particularly to a means for tightening the tires of the same.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like symbols of reference represent corresponding parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a View of the sections then piece 2, then 3, and finally section 4. Said section 4 being internally screw-threaded is screwed upon the axle-box, forcing the spokes of the wheel outwardly, tightening the folly and tire of the wheel.

Having now fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a wheel, the combination with the socketed spoke-sections, of an axle-box to receive the same, threads formed on one end of said axle-box and a flange on its other, flanges formed on the spoke-sections, hub-sections adapted to be received upon the axle-box and embrace the spoke-sections, recesses in the hub-sections to receive the flanges of the spoke-sections, and threads formed upon one of the hub-sections adapted to engage the threads on the box and compress the sections, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I EtflIlX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

PETER O. CAMPBELL.
